Can’t Go Back

Sorry for being so late today. I had this done so early, but I totally effed up the last two panels. Had Ellie opening the door the opposite way. I was ready to post and caught it. Had to redo all the art for it.

I am still super swamped on moving stuff, but I’m going to really push for the next comic to be out this Friday. See you then. =)

Update 5/10/19: Couldn’t quite get the next comic finished in time, but it will definitely be up Tuesday. And it’s gonna be a long one. =)

5/14/19: Another quick update! Chris has been killing himself trying to get the yard and outside maintenance done so the house is ready to put up for sale, working in-between the rounds of constant thunderstorms. Sorry to disappoint you guys, but the next post will have to be Friday. <3 Claire

5/17/19: Still trying to get this done in the middle of all the moving and house prep. Next comic is 13 tiers, and I will post it the minute that it’s done. Could be Saturday or Sunday, could be later. Thanks for your patience and bearing with me because it’s really important that I get this one done right.

It’s part of a series of games made to be sold out of a vending machine. They are roughly 4″ x 6″. They use regular six sided dice, so no phunky dice needed. The first two were musically inspired. This one was going to be based on the cooking competition anime shows, but seems to have out grown that.

Take a look. If it interests you, great! If it doesn’t, well, I tried. I have no vested interest, except to see it get off the ground.

Mack: If they made that door a secret, we proooobably shouldn’t try to open it. Right Blue?
* looks around for Blue, sees his imaginary friend pulling on the door’s handle *
Blue: SECRET DOOR SECRET DOOR SECREEEEEEEET DOOOOOOR!!!!

Bad Ellie, BAD! You just had a great romp with the guy and have strong connection, why must you tempt fate when things are looking up…
*Retreats into Cheyenne Mountain complex for proceeding fallout*
*Also brings several cases of twinkies because… Twinkies*

Thanks for the heads up, it’s on my watch list. Sadly that list is as long as my arm and written in micro dot but I’ll bump Mortal Engines closer to the top now. I love it when future based films take things from reality we relate to and use them as artifacts, and the running joke twikies will out live us all is gag that ages just as well.

I think the overall idea was really expanded on by Peter Jackson. The world messed itself up with powerful weapons, creating an energy and resource crisis that forced people to survive in a wasteland together in moving “cities.” I say “cities” in the loosest sense, because none of them are a standard anything. London is basically a giant battle tank, complete with giant cannons and everything. Sure, there’s a romance thing lingering in the background, but the reality is all the crazy ass shit humanity cooked up before they screwed themselves over. The movie did a really good job of visualizing that future.

Sooo…is the crack in the door the result of an “I’ll-never-see-my-child-alive” fit, or the result of “I-contracted-an-eldritch-horror-to-bring-my-kid-back-from-the-dead-and-had-to-kill-my-kid-all-over-again-myself” event?

I’m not 100% sure that her curiosity will be bad, at least, in the long run. He has clearly not taken any steps to cope with this for a long time leaving him emotionally frozen. He needs someone who loves him enough to allow him the space to cry and accept the grief he has shut away, because she will help providing him the strength and confidence to know that his entire life isn’t over if he let’s this go because there will still be someone who loves him and he may have been holding onto his grief because he’s afraid to lose a tie to the greatest targets of his love. Elle broke through on barrier when they made love after forever of festering want for each other that had been leaving him static in that relationship. Now, she can break through another and allow him to grow and become worthing of her so that they can share a deeper relationship that is capable of growing and not just festering. If she’d taken her time to enter his life, she would have learned this anyway. And, it almost seems like he was baiting her to do it. He isn’t Bluebeard. He isn’t hiding a murderous side that is a threat to her, he’s just hiding his pain.

Why isn’t anybody talking about the white elephant in the room?
If our favorite couple are going to the Buckingham castle for Pumpkin’s birthday, this means the long awaited reunion of Tarragon with Mr. David Stevens (AKA Mr. Blue Sky).

I’m really feeling dense now. It took someone else calling David “Mr. Blue Sky” for me to realize that of course! Mr. and Mrs. Blue Sky would have a sun/earth themed baby room. It’s very blue in there. With clouds. And I completely missed it.

A lot of people are saying oh no shouldn’t have gone in there but I doubt it was something David was trying to hide from her seeing as I don’t think he actually ever said to not go in there, just thay it had a bunch of stuff that he needed to get rid of, I figure he was probably going to tell her eventually but just didn’t want to immediately

I don’t mean to nitpick, but…
Isn’t Ellie holding the blanket with the wrong arm in the final panel?
Walks past the door, backs up (holding the blanket with her left arm, extending right arm)
Opens door with right arm
But in the final panel holding her blanket with her right arm, and what looks to be her left opening the door?

Omg, Ellie is to have two great loves in this comic, right? What if David is one, and the baby room is foreshadowing the second. What if she’s pregnant. You guys, what if the bag guys get David and leave Ellie to raise their kid. Noooo.
